Have you ever been having so much fun that you forget to make sure you are not missing any of your photographic gear?

Last week, after a full, productive day helping the Wilkes family where I could on the new home they are building, it was suggested that we visit a nearby battlefield to conclude the day on a entertaining and relaxing note. With a large section of PVC pipe for a canon and ten tired minds to run wild with imagination, it is an understatement to say we had fun. 🙂

But when we all began piling into the car to return home, checking to make sure we had everything, I realized the lens cap to my camera was gone! It was pitch black, and I almost didn’t mention the fact, knowing it would be rather impossible to find it, but with as much energy as ever, it was decided that the search must be conducted.

It took a lot of searching, but God allowed us to find it! Really, it was a miracle, considering all the places I had ran, crawled, and tumbled. But it was a good reminder to continue to be a good steward of the things God has allowed me to have!
